Thompson Sanctioned by Florida Supreme Court
(From Kotaku) One more round today in the continuing downward spiral of
controversial Miami attorney Jack Thompson. Today the Florida Supreme
Court sanctioned Mr. Thompson after he failed to prove that they shouldn't
through his recent "show cause" order. So what does all this law jargon
mean exactly? Well the long and short of it is that Thompson will no
longer be able to file cases directly to the courts but instead will have
to hire another lawyer to do so on his behalf. While this move won't
completely muzzle the outspoken Thompson, it will certainly make it
difficult for him to bring more of his frivolous lawsuits to the court's
attention. Bear in mind that this is a separate issue from his disbarment
trial which is currently in the works.
If you are a fan of reading long legal documents, Game Politics has the
full court order available for your perusal on their website.
